Board DART buses with a bike and ride free during May

In honor of Bike Month, the Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority (DART) is inviting all cyclists in Greater Des Moines to go farther, faster, by riding their bikes and the bus for free!

Throughout the month of May, when someone boards a DART bus by stowing their bike on a rack at the front of the bus, DART will cover the cost of their ride. Plan your trip anywhere in the metro area on Google Maps or at ridedart.com.

Additional DART resources for bicyclists:

· Secure bike storage is available at DART Central Station in downtown Des Moines. The indoor storage room and changing room are available for a $50 annual fee plus a $50 one-time deposit.

· The RideTime Transit app allows riders to track their bus and know exactly when to be at the bus stop. Search “RideTime” in the app store of your Apple, Android and Windows phone.
